absolutely! just take frequent rest breaks and put your feet up. Drink loads of water too.
My hairdresser was in early labour with her first while she was doing my mum's hair! Talk about working till the last minute! Another collegue of mine worked till the friday, had a c-section on the following monday.
Personally, I worked till 34 weeks with the 2nd so I could take a rest break for myself.

yes, I work 4 nights a week, 2 as a meat wrapper and the other 2 stocking shelves in a supermarket, I look after a 1 1/2 and a 2 1/2 yr old and run a house hold through the day. I worked 2 days up till both of my children's births. How ever i don't suggest going back to work 11 days after giving birth, this is why my back is now totally screwed.

Yes of course..its not an illness, its pregnancy.
Obviously you have to be careful, no heavy lifting, take plenty of breaks if you are on your feet.
I am a Head Chef and I worked in a hot busy kitchen until I was 32 weeks, and I only finished then because I was becoming a liability due to my expanding girth lol..you can work as long as you want to up until the birth if you so wish!!

I guess it depends on what your job is... I mean, no heavy lifting and no industrial chemicals. But most jobs you can totally keep.
I'm a school teacher and I plan on working as long as I can... fortunately I only work 6 hours a day and I live in the building where I work...

of course you can just make sure you dont do too much its the best thing to do but i advise you get maternity leave around 35 weeks coz you get too tired very easy when your that far and it also takes your mind of things aswell if you stay active i am at home now i've finished work but thats only because i have two toddlers that need dropping and picking up at nursery you should be fine good luuck and congratulations xx

Pregnancy is a thing of joy.You can still work if all is normal , but avoid lifting heavy loads an extraneous jobs.You can even work till your due date.

Depends what work you do.
Obviously certain environments and jobs can be harmful, such as picking up heavy objects and being surrounded by noxious fumes.

yes you can but if you your baby is in 7-8 months you musk stop for the health of your baby and if you dont want to stop working on your 7-8months stage you must go to your doctor for a check up to your baby.

Yeah sure.. But work for a limited period. It is ok till you feel some change/difficulty.
